چکیده

The Unfolding of Beauty: The Concepts Mercy, Cover, and Adornment in Ibn ‘Arabī ThoughtBeauty carries meanings that unify the conceptual network necessary to understand Ibn ‘Arabī thought. There are two dimensions of beauty: one pertaining to the Haqq (the Real) and the other to the servant. The meaning of beauty varies depending on these dimensions. The relationship between the Haqq and the servant diversifies based on beauty and mercy and takes different shapes and forms. These changes are covered by veils, but at the same time, they reveal themselves clearly to the eyes that see and the ears that hear. It prompted the author to ask, “How is the nexus between beauty and mercy in Ibn ‘Arabi thought revealed in the realm of human experience?”. The intention is to illustrate that beauty in its aspect of Haqq is closely tied to mercy and elucidate how this mercy and beauty are revealed in the realm of human experience.
